According to Chiron, the Greek desecration of Troy was what split demigods apart in the first place. Aeneas, the first Roman demigod and son of Venus/Aphrodite, was the last surviving prince of Troy. He fled to Italy, where the Latins (the ancestors of the Romans) lived. Aeneas was the first Roman demigod, and he was soon followed by many others. These Romans later lived in the West of North America, reputedly in the Bay Area of California. Later on, during the 1860s, the Romans, living in the Bay Area, fought with the Greeks, who were, even then, living at the camp. This was the deadliest conflict between the Greeks and the Romans, mirroring the American Civil War, although many other wars took place between the two sides. This was a fun and informative guide to Camp Half-Blood! I enjoyed reading the short stories about the characters, the history, and the parts of the camp. It was also nice seeing scenes of Apollo's original orientation film for new campers. There were some hilarious moments in this book such as the scene with Nico: Quintus (AKA Daedalus) - Ex-staff member of the camp. Also one of the most clever men ever. He is also a demigod son of Athena who realized what Annabeth said afterwords and came to help fight the Titan army in the Battle of the Labyrinth. He sacrificed his life to deactivate the Labyrinth. The Lost Hero Graphic Novel is the adaptation of The Lost Hero into a graphic novel. It was adapted by Robert Venditti, illustrated by Nate Powell, and colored by Orpheus Collar, and was published on October 7, 2014. [35] The Son of Neptune Graphic Novel [ edit ] Fighting raged through the night. The demigods battled bravely and with skill, destroying monsters with swords, spears, arrows, and other weapons. But we were far outnumbered. I feared Camp Half-Blood was doomed.

Apollo's Cabin (#7) is made of solid gold and made to glow during the daytime - it's hard to tell if the gold is reflecting light or generating it. On October 6, 2021, it was announced that Riordan would write a novel in collaboration with Mark Oshiro focused on Nico di Angelo and Will Solace, set after The Tower of Nero. [17] The title of the novel, The Sun and the Star, was revealed on September 23, 2022. [18] The Sun and the Star was released on May 2, 2023. [19] Fictional timeline [ edit ] Series The scene after that one is where Apollo hosts a game show. The contestants are Bea Wise of Athena's Cabin, Arnold Beefcake of Ares' Cabin, and Ferdinand Underwood of the Satyrs. Wise thought this was a bit unfair but Beefcake was enjoying it, Underwood ate his bell and thought he could just say something if he had the right answer. The sketch ends with Apollo saying it's dancing time. The franchise takes place in the same fictional universe as two of Riordan's other series, The Kane Chronicles (which centers on Egyptian mythology) and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard (set in the world of Norse mythology). Three short stories have been published which join The Kane Chronicles and the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles; Camp Half-Blood characters have also appeared in both the Magnus and Kane books.Inside: The interior has a large statue of Hera in the center with a fire pit at its feet, like a temple. There is no furniture inside because no one will ever stay in that cabin, which is strictly honorary (Hera is the goddess of marriage and "doesn't run around having affairs with mortals. That's her husband's job"). Hundreds of monsters—nasty ones indeed—swarmed the camp from every corner. I sounded the conch horn to raise the alarm, grabbed my bow and quiver, and galloped into the courtyard. “This is not a drill, people!” I cried. Demigods surged out of their cabins to face the greatest challenge of their young lives. Win, and Camp Half-Blood would endure. Lose, and the camp, along with countless lives, would be lost forever. Perhaps he found the idea amusing: a nephew teaching his uncle. Or maybe, being the god of prophecy, he suspected I had an important role to play in the future of Olympus. Whatever the reason, he chose to share his knowledge with me.

Kayla Knowles: A daughter of Apollo. A skilled archer. She appears in The Hidden Oracle and The Tower Of Nero. Nico di Angelo: A son of Hades. He assists Apollo and the other heroes in The Hidden Oracle and The Tower of Nero. He is dating Will Solace. You’re Kronos’s son, right?” Apollo pulled up a boulder and sat down. “My dad is Zeus! He’s Kronos’s son too. So I guess that makes you my uncle. How weird is that?” Demeter's Cabin (#4) is covered in flowers and tomato plants grow on the walls and doorway. Wildflowers and roses grow on the porch. It has a real grass roof. The cabin is colored a light shade of brown. So, demigod, chances are you’re making your way to camp with your satyr guide. Or maybe you’ve already arrived and are reading this with the hope that it’ll calm your nerves. I’d say there’s a fifty-fifty chance of that happening.It was clear that the demigods had a lot to learn. But I didn’t mind. As we sang together by the campfire that first night, I felt as if I finally had a tribe of my own. The camp has several traditions derived from its Greek roots. Winners and victors are given laurel wreaths and paraded around camp. More poignantly, anytime a camper goes on a quest, their siblings/cabin mates weave them a burial shroud in case their sibling does not survive — if the camper has no siblings, another cabin may volunteer to do it, should they return victorious, they get to burn the shroud. The dining pavilion is where the campers eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The food served is a diet primary of grapes, cheese, bread, and extra lean, nymph-cut barbecue and you can ask whatever you want to drink (although Coke does not have the same flavor). Each cabin has their own tables and campers are not allowed to sit at a table that is not their cabin's (Annabeth Chase broke this rule to speak with Percy in The Battle of the Labyrinth only while talking about the quest.) The tables are covered with a white tablecloth fringed with purple. At the center of the pavilion is the bonfire. It is lit during the dinners. At the beginning of each meal, each cabin takes turns going up to the fire and dropping in a share of their best food as an offering for the gods (because the gods like the smell). Hestia, goddess of the hearth, gets a portion of each offering. In this book are a series of sketches from a variety show movie that Apollo written, directed, produced, hosted, and starred in. The Tower of Nero is the fifth and final book of The Trials of Apollo. It was released on October 6, 2020.

At the troglodytes' encampment underground, they decide that Will, Nico, and Rachel will go with the troglodytes to disable the vats and alert Camp Half-Blood, while Meg and Apollo surrender themselves to get closer to Nero's fasces, the source of his power and immortality, and destroy it. However, it is revealed that Nero already knew of their plan. Lu's hands are cut off, and she and Apollo are thrown in prison, while Meg is forced by Nero to go to her old room in the Imperial Residences inside the Tower of Nero. Later, Piper McLean sees a vision of Octavian in Katoptris, showing him planning invasion routes into Camp Half-Blood. Nemesis' Cabin (#16) There is a broken wheel above the door that resembles Pac-Man. It's unknown what it looks like on the inside. SCENE: Darkness. Suddenly, a single spotlight illuminates Apollo standing on the front porch of the Big House. The house is a bold red color, a stark contrast to the short white chiton Apollo wears. He clears his throat and speaks. The third line refers to Chiron and his wheelchair and Dionysus serving his punishment at Camp Half-Blood.Sherman may be named after William Sherman, the Civil War general that burnt down the city of Atlanta on September 2nd, 1864. William is also a son of Ares. However, Percy once mentioned a pizza delivery guy entered Camp Half-Blood once by just being "really lost." The "really lost pizza delivery guy" was later revealed to have been sent by Apollo. Yay: It is conversational. It is easy to read. It is entertaining. Nay: It is a short guide that can be finished in one day.
